chase of operation within the
neal three years. .

The town of close to 3,500 has
been hard hit by the closure of
the mill when it went- into
receivership last July, A total
of 175 employees were iaid off
and the economic effect has
spread to virtually. every
business in the community.

Skeena M.L.A. Hartley Dent,
who mel, with some. 150
residents of Hazelton Jast week,
replacing Resource Minister
Bob Williams wha could not
make the meeting because of
bad weather, said thal there
were three possibilities for the

RIM ‘Over |

firm, One of the three options
would be the acquisitionof of the
firm by CanCel which is 79
percent owned by. the B.C.
government which would {hen
operate as a consortium in-
cluding members of the native
tribes in the region and non-
status Indians. ’. About sixty
percent of the employees of the
mill were natives.

It is expected that Minister
Williams will make a statement
an the. deal within a few days.
